Not one single ump did it.. thankfully.
I do wear them in SP though.

My! My! My! Are we just so taken by our professional standards that we can't dress for comfort? Years ago, my old Metro Assn, UIC, Bill Finley, told me after I asked if we could wear shorts to umpire the Men's Indian FP World Series in OKC in July, "I really don't care if you don't mind looking silly." I wore them that day and no one said anything about them and while the other umpires "looked professional" in their navy slacks, I was comfortable in the 100 degree + heat.
